Service purchases
Can members purchase service in the Supplemental Plan?
Yes, some types of service may be purchased provided the member is active in the class for the coverage. Purchasing service can increase the amount of pension and/or allow the member to retire earlier.
In this section, you’ll find information about past and ongoing service purchases:
- Past service is credited service in the Primary Plan the member earned before the Supplemental Plan coverage start date.
